Honestly we should just tell Trump if they wanna keep treating us this way they should either, suck it and reconsider or close up their bases and leave. Without Europe how will Americans conduct military attacks in Northern Africa or the Middle East? There is no point in these bases if we can't be sure the Americans are going to hold their NATO commitment

It really depends on the implementation tho. Since Firefox is foss i hope this wont be a proprietary blob so we can actually hold them accountable

Unless there are actual major efficiency innovations. But yes, current LLMs are sold cheaper than what they cost

This comparison is really lacking, just like the NFT one of the other commenter.

I would say AI has a lot more usecases compared to a monkey picture URL on the blockchain

No matter how much your distaste for it is, the cat is out the bag. You can refuse it but other people will keep using it

Thats why I'm actually at least for now hoping for the FOSS Chinese Frontier labs to make the breakthroughs since many of them still share research and open weight models

I dont prefer to be so pessimistic about the future. I don't believe the EU will break down or fail as a project even if times are rough

If the EU at least has the option to regulate them directly on EU soil that will already be a big step forward.

I would say this statement is false but just because its not really a secret

I actually had the alvr bin aur installed on my old destop machine. Its just the only proper way for me on Quest to properly play any PCVR games. But i haven't used nor updated that one in a while. My new arch machine luckily doesn't have this installed but now im freaking out

 

I know Wero is still in its infancy and the digital Euro is still a few years away, even if you believe there'll be no delays. But depending on where you live you can already do a lot for EU financial independence.

  • Use cash (very easy but not ideal in many situations/online)
  • Use a national payment providers:
    • Germany 🇩🇪: Girocard
    • Netherlands 🇳🇱: iDEAL
    • France 🇫🇷: Cartes Bancaires
    • Poland 🇵🇱: BLIK
    • Italy 🇮🇹:Bancomat/PagoBancomat
    • Many other options, check for your country
  • Use SEPA direct debit mandate or wire money directly if you can
  • Sign up to a european crypto exchange and use it for direct purchases. although I get if you don't like crypto but this is just for direct purchases

Otherwise American Payment providers usually get at least 1% and if you use card payment a lot over time that can really add up. This also mostly makes sense when buying from a european company. For US companies it really doesn't matter much. I've been trying to replace Amazon with Otto and I use SEPA direct debit mandate to avoid fees.

 

Since I was curious I checked the actual amount of upvotes and downvotes of my post on mbin. It got 56 upvotes and 66 downvotes according to them since I was curious. Seems I hurt their little ego when I mentioned blocking their instance.
